toolmantim / setting_up_a_new_remote_git_repository.textile
Created September 8, 2010 02:43

(a gist based on the old toolmantim article on setting up remote repos)

To collaborate in a distributed development process you’ll need to push code to remotely accessible repositories.

This is somewhat of a follow-up to the previous article setting up a new rails app with git.

For the impatient

Set up the new bare repo on the server:

PHP Base-62 encoder/decoder
<?php
/**
* This is an example of a practical encoder and decoder for base-62 data in PHP
* It differs from the majority of examples in that it's fast enough for moderate data sizes, unlike multiprecision converters
* To be practical, base-62 encoding needs to use internal chunking and padding because base-62 does not fit exactly into any integral number of bits
* This means the output is not quite compatible with multiprecision conversions,
* but the encoded data retains all the desirable properties of base-62, so (unlike any base-64 encoding) it's URL, DNS, email address and pathname safe

a simple git branching model

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

This provides the endian conversion functions form endian.h on Windows, Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, and QNX. You still need to use -std=gnu99 instead of -std=c99 for gcc. The functions might actually be macros. Functions: htobe16, htole16, be16toh, le16toh, htobe32, htole32, be32toh, le32toh, htobe64, htole64, be64toh, le64toh. License: I hereby put …

Turning PostgreSQL into a queue serving 10,000 jobs per second

Turning PostgreSQL into a queue serving 10,000 jobs per second

RDBMS-based job queues have been criticized recently for being unable to handle heavy loads. And they deserve it, to some extent, because the queries used to safely lock a job have been pretty hairy. SELECT FOR UPDATE followed by an UPDATE works fine at first, but then you add more workers, and each is trying to SELECT FOR UPDATE the same row (and maybe throwing NOWAIT in there, then catching the errors and retrying), and things slow down.

On top of that, they have to actually update the row to mark it as locked, so the rest of your workers are sitting there waiting while one of them propagates its lock to disk (and the disks of however many servers you're replicating to). QueueClassic got some mileage out of the novel idea of randomly picking a row near the front of the queue to lock, but I can't still seem to get more than an an extra few hundred jobs per second out of it under heavy load.

So, many developers have started going straight t
